Ava Faith Ventures to the “Outside”

Ava Faith is a 17-year old singer, songwriter, musician, performer, and producer from Miami, Florida. Her new single “Outside” will have you craving more from this young vocal power house.

You can hear the drama and the classically jazz trained timber in her voice colored by her stage presence and vocal abilities. The song “Outside” has a rich tone and the smokey, edgy sound is fresh and contemporary while keeping true to her roots of coloring outside the lines. 

Her unique voice has been developing from over a decade and her experience as a performer began at the age of 5 when she decided she was going to be a professional singer. Her earliest opportunities came from musical theater camps, school/church choir, singing contests, and performing at fundraising events. At the age of 9, she started taking lessons with a professional vocal coach, began landing musical theater lead roles, and started singing the national anthem for various sports events. When she was 12, she was invited to sit in on a Jazz Jam which opened her to a whole different genre. The musicians were impressed with her singing and presence and began helping her learn to improvise and perform with a band. 

As she grew, she started winning singing competitions and getting invited to perform at more venues. She decided to give all her focus on jazz studies and vocals, piano, and guitar. When she started writing her own music, she was faced with a choice to either continue down the path as a jazz vocalist or forge ahead with creating her own music. She chose the latter, starting with taking songwriting and production classes at the University of Miami. Along with these classes,  she began working with a recording studio and several exceptional musicians to develop her own sound. 

Over the last year, she has continued to work with the University of Miami, as well as taking music business classes at Berklee College of Music and NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music Summer High School program. Her music continues to evolve but can best be described as an eclectic mash-up of different styles of pop, rock, alternative, and psychedelic that reflect her influences and her own musical journey.

Video Voyageur: 3Qs with Lemon Cash

Lemon Cash started out as a cover band, forming an alternative rock band with some local friends from their hometown of Ottawa, Ontario. Looking to evolve their music, Cory and Jeff found their sweet spot and transitioned into the country world where they would come to realize this is where their tastes and personalities fit best. 

The inspiration to switch to the country genre came from their parents: Jeff Sr. and Sandra. They introduced Jeff and Cory to country music at a very young age. Listening to a wide range of artists such as Patsy Cline, George Jones, George Strait, Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw and Garth Brooks. These country legends became the inspiration for the brothers beginning to write and perform their own songs with their signature blend of harmonies and a tinge of their love of rock music thrown into the lemonade of Lemon Cash. We caught up with the group for an exclusive Video Voyageur below!

Tell us the story of this song, why did you choose to visualize this song specifically? 

We chose to visualize this song because it has such great energy. The message behind this song is to break out of that comfort zone and to do something that you’re not used to doing. The video is a representation of that message as it was our first show this summer where restrictions were lifted for having people come together for live music. It captures exactly the fun and the excitement we all had, and also the authenticity of our band.

What was the inspiration behind this video(visuals, storyline, etc.)? 

The inspiration behind this video was to get an up close and personal take on who we are as people and what to expect at a Lemon Cash show. We have footage of us taking pictures with fans, signing autographs, giving out drumsticks and just showing our sincere appreciation to everyone at our show.

We are immensely grateful for the support we have from our fans. We’d like to simply return the favour by giving them a reason to escape the real world, to dance, laugh and have an amazing time when they come and see us play. This video says it all.

What was the process of making this video?

The only process of this video was to make it as organic and natural as possible. We had a friend of ours walk around with a camera and capture real footage of us playing live and interacting with fans. This video is the perfect representation of who Lemon Cash is, what we’re like, and what to expect when you get to spend some time with us!

The Ruddy Ruckus Unveil New Single

After years of releasing acoustic guitar backed demos, alt-rockers The Ruddy Ruckus will release their debut album, Wentworth And Main, on September 10th. Produced by Luke Bentham (The Dirty Nil), engineered by Vince Soliveri (The Redhill Valleys), mixed by Dave Schiffman (PUP, Vampire Weekend, The OBGMs) and mastered by Harry Hess (Big Wreck, Monster Truck), Wentworth And Main is a gritty sonic representation of living in Hamilton, ON.

Starting out as a folk-punk alter ego for frontman Rob Brown, the Ruckus has evolved into an alt-rock phenom with the gradual additions of lead guitar player Jackson Dorie, bassist Giordano Modesto and drummer Patrick Brown. Drawing from influences such as Green Day and Big Wreck their sound could be described as a refreshing take on garage rock, the kind of sound you’d want to hear in dingy dive bars as much as sold out stadiums.
